I'd like to increase the quota for access to my APIs.
Looking around, I found this link,
but the information does not satisfy my needs.
Google Cloud Platform limits me with very low numbers, and when trying to increase the quotas in specific ones that I desire, I am not allowed, I am asked to click on
"... For values above 2,400, sign up for a higher quota" and click to go to this page https://cloud.google.com/contact/
On this page I have no specific form for this service or guidance.
My account is an upgrade account - with billing possible.
how can I have this increase - above the number set by google, to meet my needs?
To address this kind of issues, please file a support case via https://console.cloud.google.com/google/maps-apis/support in order to open personalized communication channel.
This is the correct channel for these kind of queries as it needs account investigation.

We have a very complex core banking system using MongoDB and Google Sheets, and we are hitting the Google Apps Script quota limits and getting timeouts daily. We are looking at optimizing where we can, but I need to know if there is a way that I can increase the limits somehow in the meantime (don't mind paying more).
I have looked at the Early Access Program, but it says that they aren't taking any more new members.
Any ways that I can increase the limits?
Yes, you can
If you have a look at the Apps Script Quota information, you will see that the limits depend on the type of account you have.
If you have a free account, it means that most likely it is a Customer Account.
You can upgrade to either G Suite Basic, G Suite Business or G Suite Enterprise - depending on how much you need to increase your quota and how much you are willing to pay.
See here for more information about different accounts and pricing.
I have one real website using google map and It is binded with several domains. Each domain serves for a separated group of client.
Google map announces new policy updates that apply from 11th june 2018 that decrease free limit usage from 25K map loads per day to 28K map load per month
My questions is Can I use map api key which generated from separated google account to increase free usage ?
I have read this question carefully use multiple Google Maps API Keys for same server?
But link seems broken and I can't find relevant information as answer on that question or some other questions too
In my case, although my sites have the same code based and IP, however they works like different sites on shared hosts. One more thing, Google assigns free usage based on account (not google map key) so I think I can use multiple account to increase limit
So can I do this ? I don't want to break Google rules and I appreciate for any comment
You can not since is against Google terms, please check section 3.2.4.e in this link https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/#16-limitation-of-liability.
No Circumventing Fees. Customer will not circumvent the applicable Fees. For example, Customer will not create multiple billing accounts or Projects to avoid incurring Fees; prevent Google from accurately calculating Customer’s Service usage levels; abuse any free Service quotas; or offer access to the Services under a “time-sharing” or “service bureau” model.
I'm not sure if it's against the rules:
Google Maps guy said here, that it's OK https://twitter.com/GMapsPlatform/status/1001061642363461633
Apparently google now require you to give them billing details for using there google maps on your web site. If I understand it correctly you get $200 free allowance and after that they start charging you.
Is there a way to say to google, don’t charge me after the free $200 and just stop displaying the map?
There is no way to do that.
The only 2 things available now is to:
Based on your monthly usage, calculate approximately your daily usage (per API) and set daily limits. You can do so by going to the API Console, select an API, navigate to the Quotas tab, and edit the daily or per-second quotas. You can use this Calculator.
Set billing budgets and alarms.
To control your spend, you can set billing budgets and alarms so that you are notified when your usage reaches a given budget. Here’s how.
Be noticed that these alarms are only "an alarm based on a budget", they won't stop the usage from your project.
I asked about this in the Cloud support, and they told me this:
You can use Programmatic Budget Notifications in order to perform
custom actions when reaching spend thresholds. For instance, you can
disable billing on your project when reaching the free tier limit.
https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/notify
Note this will disable the billing completely and can even cause your Cloud projects to be deleted!
See the warning:
This example removes billing from your project, shutting down all resources. Resources might not shut down gracefully, and might be irretrievably deleted. There is no graceful recovery if you disable billing. You can re-enable billing, but there is no guarantee of service recovery and manual configuration is required.
Some things may be outside your control. Google support has confirmed to me that their own bot hits count towards billable maps API usage. So they decide the level of spidering, and then charge for it.
I believe this is called the "Fish in a Barrel" business model
I've been accessing the Google Cloud Vision API from a script in a Google Sheet using UrlFetch and the REST API.
Until I got "UrlFetch failed because too much upload bandwidth was used" I didn't even know there was a quota on UrlFetch!
Is the a way to access Google Cloud APIs from a Google Apps Script so I can dodge the quota?
Quotas protect the users of Google services by preventing unforeseen spikes in usage, on the benefit of both the user (who might get unexpected bills if the quota is related to a payed resource) and the community (who will have more resourcesa available, as they will not be monopolized by users that are making an excesive use of them).
That is the reason why quotas cannot be exceeded, although depending on the service (and specific quota) you are using, you may be able to request a quota increase by following the documented procedure or contacting the support team of the product in use.
Finally, in order to identify which is the quota that you are currently hitting, refer to this documentation page where you will be able to find the quotas for URL Fetch, which as of February 2018 are:
As a side note, you have to take into account that these quotas are refreshed at the end of a 24-hour window, so your quota will be resetted to 0 every day. Moreover, this is also on a per-user basis, so you can work around this limitation by spreading your URLFetch usage across several users and days, if that is something that you can manage.
Does Google offer any type of dashboard which shows which scripts are using the most amount of computer time? I've been getting a lot of notices lately that I'm exceeding my computer time quota. I'm making adjustments where I can but it's difficult to know where I can tweak things without some type of dashboard showing me where my quota is being used.
There are a few ways to check quotas. Some of the service APIs may have methods (like MailApp's getRemainingDailyQuota). You can also check the Quotas page from your Developer's Console. Sometimes you get quota errors that are unclear but there is a reference page that clarifies some of them.
